Payroll liabilities adjustment problem

I accidentally did not withhold a tax for State Paid Family/Medical Leave on a paycheck for one employee. I have followed the steps to Adjust Payroll Liabilities for the Other Tax for the State Paid Family/Medical Leave, and I created the new Payroll Item, "Tax Adjustment", to withhold the amount from a later paycheck. Now the "Tax Adjustment" item shows on my Payroll Liability Balances report, and the correct amount shows for the State Paid Family/Medical Leave. Did I do something wrong? How do I get the balance for "Tax Adjustment" off the report?

A warm welcome to the QuickBooks Community, @sarahm5. Let me share some details about the report.

 

Regarding the tax adjustment showing up in the Payroll Liability Balance report, please note that this report includes payroll items assigned to a liability account, most deductions, and most company contributions. You did not make any mistake here.

 

On the other hand, if you wish to remove the tax adjustment from the report, you can customize it according to your preferences. Here's how you can do it: 

 

  1. Go to Reports and open the Payroll Liability Balances report.
  2. Select Customize Report.
  3. In the Filter section, choose Payroll Item from the list. You can use the search bar to locate it.
  4. In the Payroll item dropdown, choose Multiple payroll item.
  5. Put a check on the payroll item you want to show in the report.
  6. After customizing it, click OK.
